The level begins on [[2552#August|August 29, 2552]]. It takes place around the destroyed [[Sword Base]], as well as in an interior cavern underneath the facility. [[Noble Team]] is ordered to destroy Sword Base in a torch-and-burn op. [[Noble Six]] and a small strike force of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] infiltrates Sword Base to take out [[~~Covenant Empire|~~Covenant]] [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|anti-air turrets]]. On their way to the facility, the team finds an operational [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion tank]] that they use to fight through Covenant forces around Sword Base. Meanwhile, the [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcons]] carrying the rest of Noble Team land at Sword Base and begin the assault.

Noble Six arrives at Sword Base, and the entire team pushes through to a set of pre-arranged coordinates. However, there is nothing there. [[Auntie Dot]] receives a set of revised coordinates from an [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] of unknown origin, and a hidden door slides back to reveal an excavation tunnel. Noble Team rides a cart down the tunnel, where they find a large cavern housing a massive [[Babd Catha Forerunner complex|Forerunner artifact]]. On the way down, [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] reveals herself as the one who orchestrated their arrival. She asks for their assistance in defending her lab while she decrypts final information from the Forerunner ruins.

Noble Team uses [[M8 Automated Defense System|Wolf Spider turrets]] to defend the lab as the Covenant begin their attack. They engage in a open firefight against incoming waves of Covenant and after a period of time, Dr. Halsey opens the doors to the lab. Noble Team walks into the lab, revealing a large, glowing Forerunner artifact in the center. Dr. Halsey tells them about a great discovery that could change the tide of [[Human-Covenant War|the war]], and stresses that it is imperative that they get the information off-planet. She then shows them [[Cortana]], who is revealed to be the AI that sent them the revised coordinates. She stores Cortana in a [[~~The Package (data storage unit)|data storage unit~~]] and gives it to Noble Six, whom Cortana has chosen.

[[Jun]] leaves to escort Halsey to [[CASTLE Base]], while the rest of Noble Team gets into a [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] to fly to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} that is awaiting their arrival. As they depart, a large underground explosion destroys Sword Base, denying the Covenant access to whatever remains.
